This study focuses on a prediction approach of compaction compensation grouting efficiency in sandy soil. Based on Darcy's law, assuming that the grouting volume is equal to the volume of the compressed soil, a two-dimensional calculation model of the compaction compensation grouting efficiency was improved to three-dimensional, which established a dynamic relationship between the radius of the grout body and the grouting time. The effectiveness of this approach was verified by finite element analysis. The calculation results show that the grouting efficiency decreases with time and tends to be stable. Meanwhile, it also indicates that the decrease of grouting efficiency mainly occurs in the process of grouting and will continue to decline in a short time after the completion of grouting. The prediction three-dimensional model proposed in this paper effectively complements the dynamic relationship between grouting compaction radius and grouting time, which can more accurately evaluate the grouting efficiency. It is practically significant to ensure construction safety, control grouting process, and reduce the settlement induced by tunnel excavation.

Most laboratory test research has focused on grouting efficiency in homogeneous reconstituted soft clay. However, the natural sedimentary soils generally behave differently from reconstituted soils due to the effect of soil structure. A series of laboratory grouting tests were conducted to research the effect of soil structure on the performance of compensation grouting. The effects of grouting volume, overlying load and grouting location on the performance of compensation grouting under different soil structures were also studied. Reconstituted soil was altered with added cement to simulate artificial structured soil. The results showed that the final grouting efficiency was positive and significantly increased with the increase of stress ratio within a certain range when grouting in normally consolidated structured clay. However, in the same low yield stress situation, the artificial structured soil had a lower final grouting efficiency than the overconsolidated reconstituted soil. The larger of normalized grouting volume could increase the final grouting efficiency for both reconstituted and artificial structured soils. Whereas, the effect of the overlying load on final grouting efficiencies was unfavourable, and was independent of the stress ratio. As for the layered soil specimens, grouting in the artificial structured soil layer was the most efficient. In addition, the peak grouting pressure was affected by the stress ratio and the overlying load, and it could be predicted with an empirical equation when the overlying load was less than the yield stress. The end time of primary consolidation and the proportion of secondary consolidation settlement varied with the different soil structures, grouting volumes, overlying loads and grouting locations.

Grouting sleeves are an essential connecting component of prefabricated components, and the quality of grouting has a significant influence on structural integrity and seismic performance. The embedded grouting sleeve (EGS)'s grouting defects are highly undetectable and random, and no effective monitoring method exists. This paper proposes an ultrasonic guided wave method and provides a set of guidelines for selecting the optimal frequency and suitable period for the EGS. The optimal frequency was determined by considering the group velocity, wave structure, and wave attenuation of the selected mode. Guided waves are prone to multi-modality, modal conversion, energy leakage, and dispersion in the EGS, which is a multi-layer structure. Therefore, a time-reversal (TR)-based multi-mode focusing and dispersion automatic compensation technology is introduced to eliminate the multi-mode phase difference in the EGS. First, the influence of defects on guided waves is analyzed according to the TR coefficient. Second, two major types of damage indicators, namely, the time domain and the wavelet packet energy, are constructed according to the influence method. The constructed wavelet packet energy indicator is more sensitive to the changes of defecting than the conventional time-domain similarity indicator. Both numerical and experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and beneficial for the detection and quantitative estimation of the grouting defects of the EGS.

쉴드 TBM 공법은 터널의 변형을 최소화할 수 있는 공법으로 도심지 얕은 터널 공사에 적합한 공법이다. 하지만 이러한 쉴드 TBM 공법의 장점에도 불구하고 침하가 발생하며, 토피가 낮은 지반에서 쉴드 TBM 굴진 중 침하에 대한 대책은 여전히 주요 쟁점사항 중 하나로 남아있다. 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 테일 보이드는 불가피하게 발생하는 공간으로 테일 보이드의 변형은 침하의 주요 원인이 된다. 이러한 테일 보이드의 변형은 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통해 제어되며, 이를 통해 침하를 억제하거나 회복시킬 수 있다고 여겨지고 있다. 하지만 실제 뒤채움 그라우팅을 통한 침하 회복은 기대하기 어려우며 특히 사질토에서 두드러진다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅과 사질토 지반 사이의 상호작용에 기인한 것으로 유추할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치해석을 통해 사질토 지반에서 뒤채움 그라우팅이 지반거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 해석결과, 뒤채움 그라우팅은 침하증가율을 감소시켜 쉴드 TBM 굴진으로 인하 침하를 감소시키나, 그라우팅 이전에 발생한 침하를 회복시키지는 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 뒤채움 그라우팅으로 인해 감소된 체적손실의 지표침하 감소 효과를 지반 내 체적변형이 상쇄하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.
